In reply to the discussion: The crap on religion room [View all]gelatinous cube
(50 posts)25. Sadly, I agree with this.
I'm an atheist, but far too often I see replies and threads that are bigoted against religion. Jokes and memes are one thing in the A&A group (can't get enough of NeoGreen's polls), but I would love to have a civil conversation, or honest discussion about the effects of religion and atheism on the world, without ever openly attacking the other person or his/her beliefs. We claim to be enlightened and without prejudice, but if we ever were like that, many of us have lost it. What's worse, of the few times I've ever posted, I can see this same hypocrisy in my posts.

Just so you know this post has lead to a huge display of hypocrisy by the usual suspects.

I have no issue with the hosts rethinking the bans or the way things are done here. That is healthy.

I think you need to look at timings to see who 'brought up a 2 week old thread'

Good question - it's because I object to other people being insulted, as well as me
